simple pleasures...my daffodil is saying hello.......










they do need rain to quench their thirst..........
Friday was a very busy day in the studio with visitors...but not me completing my work.  The double edged sword of a open art studio space...great to share and be visible but on some days a bit over  whelming.  I received my new dyes and colors from Dharma...it is like getting a big Christmas gift...of pure exploration and play!!!  I am sending prayers out to my dear friend Vickie and her beloved mother...another surgery is required and there is always a danger in going in again so close to the first operation.  If you have one...add her to your prayer lists....surround her with positive white healing light.  Tony came in for lunch and seemed to be in a regal mood today.  Kathy was working on the Art Walk at the end of June with the downtown Elements Hotel and the downtown association.  The timing is cutting it close for the proper planning...but I am all for more visible Art and the artists who make it in Newark! 

Somehow I lost the rest of my post....the computer is not always my friend.  I hope you have a great weekend to rest.  Imagine and Live in Peace,  Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
